USCGC BRISTOL BAY (WTGB-102)

The USCGC BRISTOL BAY (WTGB-102) is the second of the
U.S. Coast Guard's 140-foot icebreaking tugs and one of just two
Bay-class cutters that work in conjunction with a special barge. Designed by U.S. Coast Guard engineers, the
USCGC BRISTOL BAY's primary responsibility is opening and maintaining
icebound shipping lanes in the Great Lakes. The BRISTOL BAY also performs missions such as search and rescue, marine environmental protection, law enforcement and port security and safety.
